"This license agreement with Sony is an exciting milestone for Ziptronix because it removes any doubt that our patented DBI hybrid bonding technology is both manufacturable and beneficial for high volume applications," noted Dan Donabedian, CEO and president of Ziptronix. "We believe it demonstrates that our patented hybrid bonding technology is both enabling and cost effective as compared to stacking with TSVs. Sony licensed Ziptronix's ZiBond direct bonding patents in 2011, which we also believe grew their image sensor market share from a few percent to the largest market share in the industry. We expect this new license for Ziptronix's DBI hybrid bonding patents will further contribute to Sony's growth within the industry. Any company wishing to compete in this space will need Ziptronix's DBI hybrid bonding patents."

LUND, Sweden -- Earlier this year, Precise Biometrics finalized its acquisition of Potsdam, NY-based NexID Biometrics, a developer of liveness detection software. Startup TechWire reached out to President and CEO Håkan Persson to learn more about how this move impacts his company's lineup of fingerprint software and mobile smart card readers for convenient and secure authentication of people’s identity, and got a glimpse into some issues affecting the biometrics industry in the U.S. and abroad.

Why did Precise Biometrics buy NexID?
By the end of 2020 it is expected that more than 60 percent of all payment transactions will be authenticated by means of biometric authentication, primarily fingerprints. At the same time, fraud is on the rise and expected to continue to grow, prompting payment providers to mitigate fraud through improved security measures.

Through the acquisition of NexID Biometrics, we get access to technology that can identify fake fingers and attempts to spoof a fi…
